Doug's Story
Have you guessed yet? I STILL HAVEN'T GROWN UP! I also still don't drink, still don't do drugs, still haven't done pot, still haven't been in trouble with the law, and I've been wildly successful. Soooooom that proves like 80% of you WRONG! My friends, they know the scoop. They always knew that contrary to popular belief I wasn't a stoner, greaser ( lol ) or whatever dopey clique title I was assigned to. I was, and have always been a genius. Albeit a shy, reclusive, and humble reclusive. LOL. Not any more. You guys, quit getting old would ya? LIVE A LITTLE. Leave Jersey for starters! Get out and enjoy the planet. It's F'd up but not nearly as F'd up as good ol' CMC. Yeah yeah, I know I sound like a schmuck, think of it as tough love. I'm no saint, and no know it all. But I am living. Life will be cut short for me, I have a vicious form of Crohn's Disease but that hasn't stop me. I record my so called "music", I have the woman of my dreams, a flock of amazing kids, a kickass house in Colorado and every day is mine for the taking. If I remember correctly most of you thought of me as some kind of oddball. You were correct. I was not of your world so I left. He's the kicker. You aren't of that world either. Please, go out there and LIVE a little. It saddens me to hear a lot of people I grew up with are doing the same thing they did 30 years ago. That ain't living. That's going thru the motions. Open the door, point yourself in an interesting direction and GO. Just go! Let the chips fall where they may, It's not easy, it sucks sometimes, but you'll close your eye's one day for the last time and you'll say,..."...Expand for more
At least I did stuff." That may sound trivial now, but on that day - it'll be the best memory/memories you'll have. If being there makes you happy, truly happy and your journey starts and ends there, so be it. As long as it makes you happy.
I'd be lying if I said I miss you people. Not all of you but the vast majority, AND, if I was a dick head to anyone, I'm VERY sorry. I was not myself at the time. Piss poor excuse, yes - but a heart felt sorry non-the-less.
As for me, I'm currently here in Colorado, 8400ft up a mountain outside of Denver with my MUCH better half Amie, 8 Kids,....yes EIGHT kids and 4 Pugs! I'm a Off-road'n Jeep guy & enjoy all the Colorado hunting & fishing I can. I became Max Murdok 28 years ago when I co-founded LIVER ( reverbnation.com/liver ) - I'm also a Creative Digital Art Director, which includes web development- print/online/video advertising production & art direction. Very active with Open Source tools/programs ( nerd stuff ) Still a loud mouth and still have long hair but I do cut it and donate it occasionally as it still grows back and Im not bald,...yet. I do miss fishing in Jersey when the stripper are running and no one here knows what a "weakie" is. I may visit soon. I'm curious what it'll be like being a shoe-bee. Doors always open here to my friends from Lower '86 - Hope this message finds you all swell and I hope the first part get's you thinking,...if not just a little bit.
Thank you, that is all. Over.
-Max and/or Doug....leave the Doug out tho, I always hated that name.
